Former Deutsche Bank Exec Connected to Trump Loans Dies by Suicide in Malibu

Thomas Bowers, who worked above Trump�s personal banker, was 55

A former Deutsche Bank executive who reportedly signed off on some of the institution�s unorthodox loans to Donald Trump killed himself in his Malibu home on November 19. Thomas Bowers, the onetime head of Deutsche Bank�s American wealth-management division, where he oversaw Trump�s private banker, committed suicide by hanging, according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner�s office. Bowers was 55.

Trump�s relationship with Deutsche Bank�which lent him around $2 billion after most other institutions had forsaken him for his history of defaults and bankruptcies�has come under investigation by two Congressional committees and the New York Attorney General, who are hoping the bank can shed light on Trump�s elusive finances, according to the New York Times. At one point, Bowers had a close connection to those finances.

Rosemary T. Vrablic, a managing director at Deutsche Bank who became Trump�s private banker in 2010 after being introduced by her client, Jared Kushner, reported directly to Bowers. Vrablic reportedly helped Trump secure loans from her bank, which Bowers approved�including more than $100 million to buy his Doral resort in Miami�even after Trump and Deutsche had to settle messy litigation over a Chicago loan that went bad.

Snip...

Bowers isn�t the first Trump-connected Deutsche exec to commit suicide. In 2014, Deutsche derivatives analyst William S. Broeksmit, who reportedly had links to Trump and Russia, hung himself from a dog leash at his home in London.
